on-premise

Locally installed software

On-premise describes software or hardware located at a company's own facilities rather than hosted remotely by a third party.

An on-premise server sits in your building; a cloud server doesn't.

The term emerged as cloud computing created the need to distinguish local infrastructure from remote services.

Often spelled on-premises, which is grammatically standard but less common in tech contexts.
